'''The Cistern Flush Toilet is usually porcelain and is a mass-produced, factory made User Interface. The Flush Toilet flush toilet consists of a water tank that supplies the water for flushing the excreta and a bowl into which the excreta are deposited.'''

The attractive feature of the Flush Toilet cistern flush toilet is that it incorporates a sophisticated water seal to prevent odours from coming back up through the plumbing. Depending on the age and design of the toilet, approximately 3 to 20L of water may be used per flush. Water that is stored in the cistern above the toilet bowl is released by pushing or pulling a lever. This allows the water to run into the bowl, mix with the excreta , and carrying carry them away. ===Design Considerations=== Modern toilets use 6 to 9 L per flush, whereas older models were designed for flushwater quantities of up to 20 L. There are different low-volume Flush Toilets flush toilets currently available that use can be used with as little as 3L 3 L of water per flush. In some cases, the volume of water used per flush is not sufficient to empty the bowl and , consequently , the user is forced has to use flush two or more flushes times to adequately clean the bowl, which negates the intended saving of water saving. A good plumber is required to install a Flush Toiletflush toilet. The plumber will ensure that all valves are connected and sealed properly, therefore , minimizing leakage.
